Contact pairs are made <strong>of</strong> steel DIN 17230 (100Cr6).Measurement results in a condition <strong>of</strong> high temperatures, variation <strong>of</strong> the normal load and bend radius <strong>of</strong>contact element indicate complex influence <strong>of</strong> temperature in this specific test condition. Authors’ futureresearch would be in direction <strong>of</strong> determination <strong>of</strong> static friction coefficient on the higher temperatures <strong>of</strong>contact pairs made <strong>of</strong> different materials.Keywords: Measurement instrumentation, coefficient <strong>of</strong> rolling friction, high temperatures, inclined plane1. INTRODUCTIONFor every engineer and constructor, who isengaged in design and development <strong>of</strong> mechanicalconstructions, knowledge <strong>of</strong> friction coefficient isvery important and crucial. However, there aremultiple issues, doubts and problems regardingusing <strong>of</strong> friction coefficient values duringexperiments. These problems occur primarilybecause <strong>of</strong> poor applying <strong>of</strong> standard tables andunder which conditions these values are measured.This is all because friction coefficient values aredifferent from laboratory to laboratory, and dependon equipment, measuring methods and a number <strong>of</strong>other parameters that may influence on diversity <strong>of</strong>measured values. Peter J. Blau [1] has representedreview <strong>of</strong> friction force and ways <strong>of</strong> itsmeasurement. He made a list <strong>of</strong> standardmeasurement methods for static and dynamicfriction coefficient as well as the way <strong>of</strong> itspotential use.As we know, friction occurs when two bodiesare in contact and based on velocity <strong>of</strong> relativemotion, friction can be static or kinetic. The staticfriction coefficient depends on many differentparameters, primarily from surface contact, normalload, atmosphere conditions and temperature,surface absorption, quality <strong>of</strong> processing andmaterial in contact [2-5]. There have been severalstudies regarding the influence <strong>of</strong> surface roughnessparameters with the static friction coefficient andconcluded that the coefficient <strong>of</strong> static friction willincrease if surface roughness coefficient increases[3, 4]. Also, some <strong>of</strong> them concluded that someroughness parameters, like skewness and kurtosis,have a greater influence on coefficient <strong>of</strong> staticfriction compared to other parameters [6, 7].Complete understanding <strong>of</strong> the coefficient <strong>of</strong> staticfriction is impossible without various analyses <strong>of</strong>mechanisms under which this is occurring. Thisissue is a goal for numerous research efforts [8-10].As a start, some authors represented conditionsunder which the value <strong>of</strong> static friction is greaterthan the dynamic friction value, in terms <strong>of</strong>temperature influence on creep motion. Generally,at temperature above zero, static friction coefficientis higher compared to kinetic friction coefficientdue to different heat activated processes. But, wecannot say that the static friction coefficient hasonly one value because it depends on contact andinitial velocity. In order to determine static frictioncoefficient, Chang et al. [8] analyzed adhesionforce and load in contact at rough metal surfaces.The study showed that the coefficient <strong>of</strong> staticfriction depends on characteristics <strong>of</strong> the materialand topography <strong>of</strong> the surface in contact as well asthat depends on external load versus generaldefined friction law.
